House Frey Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Whoops, i've just realised that votes for Varner aren't being counted. :dunce: So some of those who are on the non-voting list have voted for Varner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Payne Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 * wakes up and listens to the uproar for a while * Glad I missed all that book discussion. But wow, I sure wish I'd been around to hear the voice from on high remove all the votes from that babbling Varner guy. I agree that Varner wasn't in serious danger yet. Votes for excessive role play tend to get removed because most people don't like to [i]really[/i] punish playing around. But the reaction to the protection he got has given us something to discuss. That might even be the reason for doing it, not so much to protect Varner, but to stir the pot a little and watch the reactions. I'd suspect Piper, if he were playing instead of modding...

House Baratheon Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Varner had accumulated 4 votes (at Targs last count), most of which I'd guess were RP and/or joke votes due to the RP and/or joking going on at the time. So it's not as if Varner was in serious danger. Maybe someone just decided that the looniest of us all was the easiest to get a read on as far as innocent/guilty goes?

House Clegane Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 IIRC, ringmaster is a night action, so it being day 1, there may have been a time limit involved as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Frey Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 So I just re-read Poole, mainly because I thought Targ had missed Poole's vote. I was being stupid, but never mind that. But Poole has only 2 posts, and one of those was to jump on the biggest lynch target, moving Varner up to 4 votes. I don't like it, so i'm going to vote for [b]Poole[/b]. At least unless Poole starts to contribute more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Payne Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 So I went back to look at the reactions to Varner's lynchproofness, and the one that stood out to me the most was Karstark. His first post after that event was: [quote name='House Karstark' post='1645522' date='Jan 12 2009, 03.44']So...not much has happened since I checked in yesterday, eh? Seems like we are some kind of alted literature thread. Well I suppose I may as well go along with it - I've bought for myself an Abercrombie book which I am reading at the moment - I'm quite enjoying it so far, but I wouldn't say that it is superbly amazing (but then I'm not really a big fantasy fan anyway)[/quote] And his second was (and showing that he didn't simply miss the vote removals, like some of the other players did): [quote name='House Karstark' post='1645530' date='Jan 12 2009, 03.57']About Varner's lynchproofness, you mean? Trouble is, short of a reveal, which would most likely be very inadvisable, there's not much we can find out. Varner seems to have implied that it wasn't anything he chose, so logically it was either random or he was protected by someone. We have been told that roles are distributed randomly, (I seem to remember reading this in a mod post) so it would seem that Varner's inability to be lynched today gives us little real information. Now if you want to get some serious conversation going about something a bit more...controversial...then that would be a good idea. I would, but I don't have time today.[/quote] Definite downplaying. Now, there may not be a [i]whole[/i] lot we can learn from this protection bestowal, but it is still likely to be a more productive vein to mine for game information than continued book discussion would be. So it seems suspicious to me that [b]Karstark[/b] appears to be trying to keep us from going there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that the ringmaster had to choose within a few hours, so it was never going to be more than random - Unless the ringmaster is evil, of course. But we have no way of knowing that.

House Clegane Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Looking through last night's posts, this one seems rather odd to me. [quote name='House Selmy' post='1645257' date='Jan 12 2009, 00.28']I like the new avs. But I don't like [b]Penrose[/b]. He's an evil loser. [i]...quote from Penrose...[/i] If you were agreeing with him, then why didn't you quote him? Or say you were agreeing with him?[/quote] I mean, perhaps I am misreading, but it sounds like it is intended as a serious vote to me. Granted, I know there's not much to go on early in day 1, but that's really stretching things. It seems like [b]Selmy[/b] is trying to sound serious and contributive without actually contributing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
